know he loves all his children. God had his plan and reasons which is always good for us

have not been this beautiful world.

God presence this world would have never been created anytime .He is definitely the
sovereign of the earth.

My current beliefs about the bible ans science being reconciled the truths from GENESIS1.
There is one, self existent, creator God. Th creator is rational and wise. This is evident in
the fact that the creation is ordered and planned. Creation is free actof God. Th
significance of the above mentioned truths that light of the three of them bring modern
scientists to be regulated or law of nature. The other providing confidence that humans
should be discerned and understand these regularities with the other coming and indicating
that humans cannot second gues what God has made for us.

1. Therefore, this is what I believe about the nature of God:
I believe that the nature of God as higher and supreme power. He is the sovereign of all.
God is everywhere in living and non living materials in the earth. We are the image of the
God. God has created us and we are the domion of the beautiful earth he created. The
experiences we face in our life is for a reason god has created us. God has created us for a
purpose and he is the one who rukes our life.

2. Therefore, this is what I believe about the nature of Humanity:

I believe that nature of Humanity is that wee all have a purpose, what we are unaware of
our purpose in life. God knows our purpose and we have specific ability given by god to
complete a task given by god to give this world. Once our purpose in life is over we pass
away. Our physical body dies but our soul is immortal. We come for purpose, we surve
humanity to the world and we go away. God only has the power to rule our lifes. Our spirit
which dies God gives us another life where we again come for a new purpose in this
beautiful world.

3. Therefore, this is what I believe about the care for the Earth:
I believe that care for the earth is the work that God gave to Adam. Adam was created in
this world to take care of the world as to serve the garden of Eden. And to be the domion
of the earth he created. Adam and Eve was created to extend the kingdom which they
entrusted through their stewardship and service.They were also to be fruitful and multiply
and fillthe earth and subdue it.havig a domion over the fish of sea and over the birds of
heaven and over everything that is living or non living.
